2Pe 2 Peter, chapter Second Epistle of Peter, chapter 3
Chaverim, this now is the second iggeret I am writing to you; in these iggrot my tachlis is to arouse your sincere levavot by way of tizkoret (reminder): 2Pe 1:13Remember the divrei torah having been previously spoken by the Nevi'im HaKedoshim and the mitzvot of3:2 Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu and Moshieinu spoken by your Shluchim. Knowing this first, that during the acharit hayamim there will come leitzim (mockers, scorners) mocking, going after their own ta'avot (lusts), 1Ti 4:1; 2Ti 3:1And saying, “Where is the havtachah (promise) of the Bias HaMoshiach? From the time Avoteinu fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of HaBri'ah (Creation).” Isa 5:19; Ezk 12:22; 1Co 15:12For this is hidden from them (but they want it that way): that the Shomayim existed from long ago and ha'Aretz out of mayim and through mayim BIDVAR Hashem NA'ASU3:5 Ps 33:6 (By the word of the L-rd were made). Gen 1:1; Psa 24:2; Heb 11:3Through this very mayim, the tevel (world) of that time perished in the mabbul (flood). Gen 7:23But the present Shomayim v'ha'Aretz are being reserved by the same Dvar Hashem, being kept for Eish (Fire) for Yom HaDin and for the destruction of anshei resha (men of wickedness).Psa 102:27; Isa 51:6; Mat 13:40
Chaverim, let not this one thing escape your notice, that “A thousand years in the eyes of Hashem is like one day”3:8 Ps 90:4 and one day like a thousand years. Psa 90:4But Hashem is not slow concerning his havtachah (promise), as some consider slowness, but is demonstrating savlanut (patience)3:9 3:15 toward you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to teshuva (repentance). Ezk 18:32; Ezk 33:11; 1Ti 2:4But the Yom Hashem will come as a ganav (thief), in which the Shomayim with great suddenness will pass away and the elements, burning up, will be destroyed, and the Olam Hazeh and its ma'asim will be found ou.3:10 Num 32:23Mat 24:35; Mat 24:43; 1Th 5:2
Als (Since) all these things will thus be destroyed, what kinds of persons ought you to be in hitnahagut (conduct) that is characterized by kedushah and chasidus, Awaiting and hastening the Bias HaMoshiach of the Yom Hashem, because of which the Shomayim will be turned into Eish (Fire) and destroyed, and the elements set ablaze and melted. Psa 50:3; Mic 1:4But SHOMAYIM CHADASHIM VA'ARETZ CHADASHA3:13 Isa 65:17 cf. Isa 66:22 according to the havtachah (promise) of Hashem we await, in which Tzidkanut (Righteousness) dwells.Isa 65:17; Isa 66:22; Rom 8:19; Rev 21:1
Chaverim, als you await these things, be eager to be found in shalom by him TAMIM U'MUM3:14 Ex 12:5; Lv 22:20; Isa 53:7,9 (unblemished and unspotted). 1Co 1:8And regard the savlanut (patience) of Adoneinu as Yeshu'at Eloheynu. So also our Chaver and Ach b'Moshiach Sha'ul, according to the chochmah (wisdom) having been given to him, wrote to you. Rom 2:4As also in all his iggrot speaking in them concerning these things, in which are some things lomdish (intricate and complicated to understand), which those unstable and without da'as, twist, as also the other Kitvei Hakodesh, to their own churban (destruction). 1Co 15:24; 1Th 4:15Chaverim, you therefore, knowing beforehand, be shomer over yourselves lest with the toyus (error) of the mufkarim (lawless ones) having been led away, you fall from your own stability. But grow in the Chen v'Chesed and Da'as of Adoneinu and Moshieinu, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua. Lo HaKavod Gam HaYom V'Gam L'Yom HaOlam. Omein. (To him be glory both now and to the day of eternity. Omein.)Rev 22:5
